"I Just Fell Off The Wagon Again" (Don Griffiths)

Sitting on the front porch
In my old rocking chair,
Smokin' a joint...
Drinkin' a beer...

There's a man on the phone
It's my 7th step dad sayin'
Your Momma's in bed
She will soon be dead

Listening to the voices
Going on in my head,
Why won't they quit ?
I'd be better off dead

Chorus:
Is anybody going to San Antone
Or Phoenix Arizona?
(No,no,no scratch that line it doesn't work)
How about :
Can anyone spare me a little Prozac ,
An Ambien, or a Valium?
Anything is better than insomnia in jail,
Destitute,broke and hungover...

My favorite goes back a long while. "PEPSI COLA HITS THE SPOT, TWELVE FULL OUNCES THAT'S A LOT, DA DA DA TA------and so on. Drinking Pepsi never cost me my wife, girlfriend my pickup or my dog. Oh well, I can see there's not much of a story here.

Maybe the next time (hopefully there'll be a next-time) Paul Franklin and Vince Gill could do an album dedicated to the world of drinkin' songs. There's a ton of 'em that would be great for Franklin/Gill covers.

Keep on picking'!
